Back in 2010 Tecmo Koei promised us a darker, bloodier Ninja Gaiden and that's exactly what the E3 floor demo is all about. The buckets of blood are back in full force as Ryu rips every ugly thing in the alley to shreds for shits and giggles. Destructoid has confirmed from the demonstrator that the game definitely does not feature any bathroom breaks, so Hayabusa must fight his way through the entire game while holding it. What a stud.

Other details are scarce at the moment, but we'll have a full preview for you in the coming hours. We can confirm that the game has not been dumbed down for the casual market. It's hard, it's bloody, and it will make you hurt.
